Musky fishing????

[chris420]

never been musky fishing, over the last couple months i purchased around 45 musky lures and built a tackle box and built a rod and reel combo, the revo toro beast with 100lb powerpro and the beast rod 10ft1 xxxh rod for casting, i guess the lengths also good for doing a figure 8. i never fished for them, and would love to give it a try

480-220-6347 let me tag  long this summer, i would appreciate it. im in perham MN i got moneys and down to drive were every upto 4 hours.

i got some size #8 buck tails and size #10 and alot of size #13 along with some top water and alot of bulldawg pounders 11.5oz and 13oz

 

 

 i do got a smaller lund boat and will be doing alot of trolling this summer on the lake i live on,big pine lake for notherns if anyone wants to tag along

about $819 for everything 

revo toro beast 60hs reel retails for 399$ i got it for $220 new in box

revo beast rod 10ft1 retails for $359 i got it for $221 plus $3 for shipping insurance- i figured get the long one to figure 8 without bending over all day

tackle box was 59$ plus $15 for the threaded rod

------------tackle industries has a sale now---------- get them while there cheap??

lures i got hooked up from "tackle industries" james-- $6.99 each hell of a deal i figured so i got alot-

--#13bucktails -$6.99

--pounder dawgs 11.5oz-13oz- $6.99

--tube style 14" and 10" for $6.99

the topwater lure was also $6.99

40 lures=$300--- i did 2 orders of $150 AND the second order he threw in a #10 and #8 bucktail along with a hat

i figured at the store they sell for $25-$35 might as well buy alot.. instead of a couple at a time that would add up over time

i do wanna buy the  bocca bearings for the real but $48 for 3 bearings is spendy but apparently you get a big difference in casting distance(16-24%)and smoothness

I've caught a lot of musky over the years.  Not a single one when I was fishing for them.

 

Based on my experience you might want to add some walleye cranks or jigs.

I used to fish for muskies a lot in high school.  We mostly used bucktails (blue fox makes a great one), crankbaits (Jake's and grandmas), topwater (guide baits and propbaits) as well as big spinnerbaits.  This was before the big soft plastic baits came out and I can see where they would be good, but more often then not we were catching the most on a #6 blue fox super vibrex inline.  To keep it straight I would have bought a couple of the bulldogs and way more bucktails and crankbaits, the nice thing about bucktails and crankbaits is that you can troll and cast both of them.

All my recent Muskies and my PB 49" have been caught while bass fishing mostly on 3/4oz white double bladed spinner baits. With a few on clear/blue bombers. Pretty scary landing them without a net on 17lb fluoro.

I saw your other post where you said you had family with land on Vermilion. My family has owned a cabin on Pike bay since 2000 and I will tell you that is one of the best Musky Lakes around IMO
